network configuration

binary_dreamer · 06-26-2006, 09:03 AM

i got an installation of sarge. i am getting internet through a dsl modem/router. that router acts as a DHCP server and everytime it gives a different IP address to my Lin box. could someone tell me which file do i have to change in my linux box to assign it a permanent ip, dns1, dns2?
i know what i have to do to the router.

/etc/network/interfaces for the ip address and /etc/resolv.conf for your dns settings examples below.

Code:

iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.0.1
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.0.0
       broadcast 192.168.0.255
       gateway 192.168.0.254
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
       dns-nameservers 24.222.0.66 24.222.0.91

Code:

nameserver 24.222.0.66
nameserver 24.222.0.91
